Buffalo SpringfieldA Buffalo Springfield reunion tour has gone from wishful thinking to reality in the space of just a few days.

First, David Crosby, former band mate of two Buffalo Springfield members (Neil Young and Stephen Stills) told Rolling Stone that the tour was a "go." Then, when the lineups for the Bonnaroo festival were announced on Tuesday, guess who showed up as one of the confirmed headline acts for the June event.

The surviving original members of Buffalo Springfield (Sills, Young and Richie Furay) performed together for the first time in more than 40 years at Young's annual Bridge School benefit last October. Shortly thereafter, talk of a reunion tour began. According to band friend Crosby, there aren't any plans for recording new material. So far, Bonnaroo is the only confirmed booking that's been announced.
